Hazrat Tariq bin Shihab narrates that when Hazrat Umar came to Syria, many armies came to him. Hazrat Umar was wearing an izar, socks, and a turban. He was holding his camel and giving it water. The people said, "O Commander of the Faithful! Many people and the rulers of Syria are coming to you, and you are in this condition." Hazrat Umar replied, "We are the people whom Allah Almighty has honored through Islam; we will not seek honor in anything other than Islam."
